  • Surgery Monday, 10/19!!! I'm also in two secret "October Sleevers" Facebook groups, as well as a secret "20-somethings WLS" Facebook group. If anyone wants to be added, leave your email or send me

  • Sleeved on the 19th. Going through mood swings here and there. TMI: I poop twice a day. Not sure why it happens so often but it does!

I cannot get enough fluid in. It hurts so much to drink anything. I can feel it going down and into my stomach then it spasms. I take the meds prescribed but then I just sleep still not getting fluids. I walk and walk and that did help the gas in the chest. I told myself before getting sleeved that I would not let myself regret it, but the mourning of food is killing me. I understand it will get better and I try not to dwell but having difficulty.

I got sleeved 10/13. Mariapimentel@hotmail.com. Not sure I am already in two October groups on fb...

Maybe you are drinking too fast...sip slowly. I get a lot of pain if I gulp or drink too many sips in a row....it has been a hard adjustment for someone like me who ate superfast all my life.

I got sleeved Oct 16 I'm 5 days post op, what helped me with liquids was to use a teaspoon to slowly drink my broth, lemonade, chamomile tea and iced water up until I got discharged from the hospital, right now I'm drinking all 64oz + without any problems. Best of luck on your recovery.
